Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program
Tuition and Fees

The tuition for the non-credit, post-baccalaureate certificate program is charged and paid based
on the semester hour. The 2016-2017 tuition rate is $468 per semester hour or $1,404 per
course. All students are required to take eight (8) courses. Each course in the program is the
equivalent of three (3) semester hours. For the 2016-2017 academic year, the total tuition for the
program is $11,232. Students pay tuition by the semester and the cost is determined by the
number of courses they are enrolled in for each semester.

Applicants pay a $40.00 non-refundable application fee. Applicants are also responsible for the
cost of obtaining and transmitting official transcripts. If transcripts require evaluation or
translation, the applicant is responsible for the arrangements and the costs associated with the
same.

Additional Costs

Additional costs for students include a $125 non-refundable general fee to register each
semester, textbooks, course supplement materials and other miscellaneous classroom items.
Textbooks average $100-$250 per course. The program strives to provide its students with high
quality course materials while keeping in mind costs. A late fee of $200 is assessed by the
university for current students registering for classes after the late registration deadline. Living
expenses and transportation to and from campus are additional costs that applicants need to
consider.

Student Loans

Student loans are available to eligible students in the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate program
through Federal Stafford Loans. Students can apply online for student loans at
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov . Please note: the program is considered 5th year undergraduate for
purposes of student loans. Roosevelt’s school code is 001749. The US Department of Education
allows students to borrow a limited amount for any given academic year (July 1st, 2016 through
June 30th, 2017). It is possible to borrow up to $12,500 per academic year for students in the
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate program. Roosevelt University’s Office of Financial Aid awards
the maximum amount of loans in the fall and spring semesters. Students wishing to use their
funds for the summer should either save the refund that is disbursed to them or inform the
Office of Financial Aid to reduce the loan amounts in the fall and/or spring terms so that
funds are left to disburse in the summer.
